in these days , every where you go people are busy with watching world cup games and you usauly see peopel shout in happines or cry in sadness for their national team’s win or loss ,in these days my friends often ask me “Who are you rooting for ?†it is very hard question to answer , so I usualy try to hide myself and not answer such a question ,… have you ever wondered who the 40 million Kurds without a country , would root for in world cup games ? it is a sad fact , that there is no football team representing Kurdistan , because Kurdistan is divided among 6 countries . if you want to know how a Kurd would follow the games please read this post .
I myself didn’t have any interest to watch the games , as there is no team for me until I heared some Kurds are going to wave Kurdistan flag on some games… the flag which waving it can have Death sentence for Kurds in their native countries. Sudi Arabia and Tunis game started , I rush to watch the game .
unlike any other person who is watching the game ,I am not looking at the ball or at the players , I am just searching among spectators and at the stadium, searching for something which makes me proud of my nation.the camera gets closer to the ball and the player I get angry !!! what is the aim of showing ball and the players ? common show me that precious flag .
ok now the Tunis player shoots toward the Sudi Arabia’s goal ,WOW MY ….I finally saw it. RED , WHITE , GREEN , with a beautiful sun in the middle , thats Kurdistan Flag that the whole world can see it ! Horaay ! I shout and I call all my friends to watch the game , [actually watch the flag not the game], now I become a fan of Tunis..I hope Tunis continue shooting toward Sudi Arabia’s goal so I can see the flag more.
the first half ends, and in the second half the two team switch their places , now I am fan of Sudi Arabia , and I hope it attack on the Tunis Goal , so I see the flag again. you may not believe that I don’t even know the result of the game until this minute, I have been looking just at the specters instead of the ball or players … he he the Iranian TV hasn’t yet noticed that there is a forbidden flag on their own tv , now the Sudi Arabia player Sami al Jaber, hits a goal ! and now the camera is supposed to be show the replay from different views…
yeah finally the iranian TV noticed the flag and censored it (they usualy play a recoreded part of the game when there is something that they think they should censor like a Sexy lady among spectors or in this case a Kurdish flag) even though after the Sami Jaber’s goal the game became more hot and interesting for the people , but the game becomes boring for me… there is no interest for me and many other Kurds who I called them to watch the game. I just can hope one day , we 40 million Kurds like many other nations ,have a football team which can have the chance to represent us in the world cup games , so we too like every other nation have somthing to watch and to follow in these days.
I recoreded a small video of the game you can watch it here in youtube.com
